The Vigilante Element: Sean and Dom’s organization adds an intriguing edge to the story, and the hints at their deeper purpose left me desperate to know more.
Phenomenal Narration: I love duet narration (where each narrator reads their assigned character’s dialogue throughout) and it helped immerse me into the story, setting, and characters.
